The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) launched a $10m on-screen fund to support local and international media and entertainment partners in producing TV and film projects that can reach global audiences and promote the country's tourism.

International media conglomerates, key video streamers, and content studios can apply for the fund; Their projects, however, must be set in Singapore and launched before the first quarter of 2027.

Project proposals will be evaluated based on their distribution and market reach, content concept and creative merit, opportunities to feature Singapore's offerings and experiences, and the number of local talents involved in credited roles.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
